How a K-pop concert in Malaysi...
Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Fifty Fifty – Wish You Were Here.
Unlike many men of my age, I have never treasured the original Pink Floyd song as an especially meaningful all time favourite; I quite like it, but it's never occurred to me to think of 'Wish You Were Here" as outstanding in any way.
The Fifty Fifty cover, on the other hand, has impressed me. I much prefer the instrumentation here, but above all the girls' timbres, ad libs, and harmonies make this version strike sympathetic chords within me in a way that the original has never done.
I hope Fifty Fifty continue with songs like this, "Gravity", or "When You Say My Name" -- that is, material which allows them to show off their vocal talents to their best advantage. As well as finding them pretty and charming, I like their singing so much that I feel I must support them even if come out with songs like "Skittles" that I do not care for at all.

Yes, it is true that #ASEAN is #Kpop 's largest overseas consumers—with the #Philippines and #Indonesia at the top. It was us who turned the Hallyu Wave into a global phenomenon. Without us, you wouldn't be where you are today.#SEAblings

Of course it's biased.

1. Koreans attacked Indonesia's top girl group, No Na, first
2. Indonesians returned the favour
It's wrong, yes, but you can't blame ASEANs. YOU started it.

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen H1-KEY -- SEOUL (Such a Beautiful City).
I was so pleased when this popped up on my YouTube. It's a great song, which Yel, Hwiseo, Seoi, and Riina look so happy to be performing here.
They were videoed at one of the many festivals that take place at this time of year. I'm not clear how one gets admitted to these events. Presumably the ones at universities grant preferential admission to members of their respective academic communities, but this stage took place at a "youth festival". How pricy are the tickets for such an event?

To my Korean friends. There's something in the International communities that you probably might want to be aware of:
The view is now shifting that all the "bullying" allegations are fake. People started to notice that whenever a celebrity is rising, there's a very convenient "bullying" allegation.
Of course, who cares about non-Koreans and the perception of International fans, right? It's understandable, your culture, your problems, your own.
But, who knows, maybe it does matter to you guys. Or, it might affect the #Kpop & #Kdrama industries later. So, just a friendly heads-up. 🙇🏽🖖🏽

"His identity was not revealed."It's actually easy to track that down in this age. We'll probably hear about it soon. I hope they are ready and have plans in place. These scandals in #Kpop are often devastating.

I love seeing pictures of Kpop idols here.
Sometimes, though, I feel frustrated when I see a photo of an idol I do not know with no identifying details posted.
Could all of us Kpop fans make sure that when we post pictures of idols, we also post their names and the groups to which they belong?

Here we go again with another Western-sensitivity called #CulturalAppropriation.Who are these "International" "fans" whining about cultural appropriation? If they grew up in the Western world, ignore them. If they grew up in Pacific-Asia, shame on them.It's #CulturalAPPRECIATION.#Kpop

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen VIVIZ – La La Love Me –Studio Choom.
I liked “La La Love Me” the first time I heard it, and the song has grown on me more and more ever since. Consequently, I was especially happy to see that there was to be a Studio Choom of the song, as that channel, with its high standards of videography and freedom from visual clutter, provides me with Kpop in a form I adore.
This Studio Choom did not disappoint me. The song only gets better as we watch the dance; I particularly appreciate the changes made to the choreography in each chorus. The black outfits, co-ordinated but not uniform, both suit the dance and display the physical beauty of the group without vulgarity. I also thought the hairstyling and accessories complemented the outfits so well, and even found myself reconciled to Eunha’s platforms. Kudos to the stylist!
I love this video. Watching it confirms my passion for Kpop!

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Hearts2Hearts – Rude.
Loved everything about the chorus and Carmen and Ye-on's parts. In general I enjoy the bouncy, ultimately disco derived house sound. I wish they had gone a little lighter on the rap and I am afraid that Stella's English passage was a painful reminder that I am not in the target market.
The MV has a lot going on but does not feel cluttered to me. Lots of great outfits, but my favourites were the tennis dresses.
Overall, I liked "Rude" a lot and can see why this bright sound works for them; it works for this fan too!
Yet I must say that I hope that they will return at some point to the more mysterious atmosphere of "The Chase".
No doubt when it comes to my opinion though, SM couldn't even care less...

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen IVE – Blackhole.
I've chosen this because I've had the song on my brain, I like the outfits, and I'm pleased that my liking this song provides me with an opportunity for posting a video with my bias Ahn Yujin giving it her all.
If you're not sure who Yujin is...
